Kongiganak Traditional Council Heating Fuel Spill Prevention Project

• This example presentation was developed based on Kongiganak’s 2012 CEDP project funded by ANTHC through an EPA Alaska Tribal Multi-Media grant.

Project Objective- Find a containment solution that would

prevent fuel contamination - Educate community about the health and

environmental hazards associated with fuel spills

Results- Successfully installed 17 ENPAC Single

Poly Rackers. - Education about the risks fuel spills pose

to the land, air, and health. - All of the laborers were provided with

gloves, tyvek suits, safety glasses, and masks to keep them safe.

Benefits: - Improved environment. - Minimized risk of fuel spills in the

community. - Community members and local and

regional partners are more aware of this common issue.

“Once the Poly Rackers were installed, there was an overflow at one household, but the

Racker did its job, containing the spill and saving the ground from contamination.”
